[QUOTE=keliente]You should consider buying one from a sponsor that is ready to go. All the fabrication you would have to do otherwise is not going to save time or money.[/QUOTe
You don't think i could do it cheaper with my own labor...?

Or, you could just buy a used one that's already setup for around $1500.
Say you buy a "junkyard 9"." Then do ALL the fabrication needed.... You'll need.
Junkyard 9"- a few hundred $$.
Gears: $200
Bearings, etc. $100
Over $1000 in stuff, and you'll still be stuck with a standard case and yoke (not as strong).

Or, you could get lucky like me and find a friend with a Moser 9", 31 spline Moser axles, 3.70 gears and a strange spool that he'll sell to you for $200.
Then I traded the spool for a posi, bought new gears and bearings. All in all, I'll have my 9" with 4.11 gears and a posi for under $500.

I agree. Knew a guy back in CO that did everything him self. In the end he got it to work but it took him alot of work and time. IMO much better to buy a complete untit from one of the sponsors. I personaly recomend Billingsley.
